In the last decade the world has been showing a more aggressive interest in
protecting our environment, giving place to a new market of
GREEN PRODUCTS. In our efforts to be more
involved with this concern & to satisfy our customers needs, we work with the
following Green (Recycled) Brands. When you are investing in recycle material you are investing in a better future for yourself.
IceStone is a durable surface made of 100% recycled glass in a cement matrix. Each slab is VOC-free, made in the USA, and holds Cradle to Cradle Gold certification; recycled glass countertops don't get more sustainable than that!
RINATO is a line of cementitious terrazzo slabs containing recycled glass.
Previously destined for the landfill, the glass has been recycled or “re-born”
as a raw material in every slab. These sustainable slabs offer you all of the
design flexibility of terrazzo with the environmental benefits of 100% recycled
glass. That’s not all... the cement matrix which binds the glass also includes
recycled fly ash and slag to help fortify the cement and to replace
non-renewable and petrochemical based resources. ECO™ by Cosentino is a durable surface made of 75% recycled content composed of post-industrial or post-consumer materials and is bound by an environmentally friendly resin which comes in part from corn oil. ECO by Cosentino is also an ideal substitute for natural or engineered stone.
The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that oversees the GREENGUARD Certification Program. GEI establishes acceptable indoor air standards for indoor products, environments, and buildings and its mission is to improve public health and quality of life through programs that improve indoor air. Our products were subjected to hours of rigorous testing to meet the stringent demands of both the Greenguard Indoor Air Quality certification and the Greenguard certification for Children & Schools. This means that Hanstone qualifies as a low chemical and particle emitting building material and is safe to use indoors.
